Thanks for posting this detailed information Dan! This kind of information can help us all make good decisions about managing the ownership process, and is great for potential buyers. All cars have problems, and if you're ready for them, they don't hurt as much.
I'm glad there appears to be...
I find the brake hold somewhat intrusive while driving. I had it on my BMW and was smoother. There was no on/off selection I found though, it was always on.
In SF I would absolutely use it. It's not THAT intrusive.
I had this experience in a different car this summer. My son has been driving it, so naturally I wanted to blame him/his hygeine. LOL
I tore out all the mats, everything I could, and the only thing I found was a dead ladybug. Took it out, and the smell disappeared.
I couldn't believe it was...
I'm pretty certain. I need to take my car in to the dealer and I will verify. But, yeah, there's always exhaust sound piped in, and runs heavily in the sub in the hatch. I'm usually in Comfort and I get it there and other drive modes. I have no doubt.
Thanks for the detailed look! It appears that you were running in 4th on the manual. I usually run in comfort, and flip to sport when I'm looking for responsiveness, but I might want to do that for a bit more acceleration. Surprised the Normal and sport were the same.
Whoa that sucks, glad you're ok.
At 200Kmiles, I don't think you'll have a lot of interest. Obviously, that's not worn out for one of these cars, I don't think it would command much premium, unless you wait for the exact right buyer.
I have the same problem with my Google Pixel. But it is a newer phone for me and I'm not sure it worked when I first got it. But I think so. When I tried to reconnect the car said the phone was incompatible.
Bad news this week. I'm getting a buzzing sound from the back of the car. Turned on the stereo and I think the subwoofer is gone. But because of the piped in exhaust sounds it's making a buzzing sound even when the stereo is off. Comes and goes. Need to make an appointment with the dealer.
With about 2000 miles I'm going to second the "notchy" description versus smooth. A couple of points.
1. I came from a BMW MT6 and I think the Acura is comparable. I consider that high praise.
2. I quickly got used to down and right reverse, and now like it MUCH better. I have to jockey back...
I still have my Ford PHEV. While I don't love the car, I like the execution vs a hybrid or full electric. I'm not interested in either of those at this time. And I have a garage where I can charge it.
Don't get me wrong, it is a good car, does everything just fine, and I love getting...
When reviewing a car's ride, never underestimate the importance of tire sidewall. When the brakes allow it, you can downsize the wheel size to improve the ride.
I test drove a '22 Civic Sport with 18" wheels and did not like the ride. My son had a 2018 2.0T-Sport, and the spaciousness is...
Hey Addy,
I've seen a lot of comments from Si owners, but none like yours. Personally I would not recommend the #1 above, but suggest you do more testing before going with #2.
I haven't driven an Si, so comparisons will be very general.
1. You mentioned the MT, so you will have to get the...
I call my new Acura, "Integra" not very creative.
But my wife gave a nickname to my 2013 Ford C-max Energi, "The Zamboni." So we have RDX, Integra, and The Zamboni.
Hey Lauren,
Tell me a bit about the sunscreen. I haven't owned them in the past. For the past 10 years I've been parking in the garage at home and at work, so I never felt I needed one. But my new job has no garage, and there's a good chance I move in a couple years and won't have a garage...
I like the term notchy for the manual trans. A real solid feel when it slips into place. I don't know about the click sound though. I'll listen for that next time I drive.
I'm with OP on this one. Silver wheels, no blackout trim, but still with 6MT would be my pick. Jury is out on microsuede interior. It's nice, but I'm not sure I'd pay for it.
Then again, I'm not most people! :lol:
Not in the car right now, but I checked the owners manual online.
On the right section of the steering wheel, the bottom left corner is a button to turn LKAS on or off.
When it is on, you see the little car with two lane lines. When it is off, the gauges are a little bigger.
Edit, it is the...
I'm a bone-stock kind of guy, so not seriously considering any mods, except maybe new wheels.
I also feel that the adaptive suspension provides an opportunity to adjust the ride based on daily driving preferences; i.e. sport vs comfort.
That said, if it comes time down the road to replace the...
